Price lists?

What type of kits?

Brands?

Tom

I haven't gone through it all yet. There are probably 200 of them. Mostly cars, a few planes, though a lot of other stuff in there too.

On a quick glance, I see AMT, Aurora, IMC, ITC, Revell. Those are the ones I see on top.

I'm looking at an Aurora Mod Squad Station Wagon kit sitting by my desk. The box says it's a "'51 Mercury Woodie" but the instructions list it as a "1949 Mercury Station Wagon." Includes models of Linc, Julie and Pete. Unassembled.

I know there's a "Get Smart" Sunbeam in there too....

When I start listing this stuff on Ebay, I'll post here too in case anyone is interested.

Get in touch with John Burns at:

Ask if he still has any copies of his Collectors Value Guide for Scale Model Plastic Kits, Seventh Edition.

It was published in 1999 so the value ranges are a bit low, but it gives you a starting pont.

(Cough) Doug, that Mod Squad wagon is one of those 'Holy Grails' of the model car hobby. It's not the best as a model but it's definitely very rare. It was only out for a short time and the word is the moulds went south fast, ie. they were not made from tooling steel. I think I need air...;)

He says he's reading the instructions, that means it's openned, does that change the value?

8^) Oh my, yes, once the instructions have been opened it knocks a hundred dollars off the value. Young man, I'll give you a nice crisp ten dollar bill for that pile of junk plastic there... 8^) The Keeper (of too much crap!)

don't let this slickee boy rip you off, i got $15 here.

$15.25 and I'll pick it up in person :-)

$20, i'll send the limo.

$20.01 I'll send the jet.

fold.

haaa and all I had was a pair of dueces ;-)

still would have beat a busted flush.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When we picked up the donated kits, we set up tables on the driveway to air them out and blow off the dust. A neighbor thought we were having a yard sale, so wandered by. He offered us $2000 on the spot for the lot of them. I turned him down.

If anyone wants to spend way too much money, 100% of the proceeds go to a nonprofit organization, if that will assuage your guilt.

Thanks for the tip on the Burns guide. I will send e-mail to see if it's available.

Does anyone have an opinion about Krazy Kam's Kar Kit Katalog? Has anyone even heard of it?

Again, I will let y'all know when I start putting these up for sale. In the mean time, you can dream.....

Thanks!

Doug
